Abstract An apparatus is described and figured for determining weight percentages of sedimentary particles continuously settling in a cylinder of 10 cm. diameter. Graphs are given plotting the results of a large number of particle-size analyses chiefly of Dutch and Dutch colonial materials. Various sedimentary agencies are differentiated by the character of their deposits. Theoretical considerations are developed.
